Reggie Williams to the Bobcats.

The only reason I can see Otis not giving the mini-MLE to Clark right now is he is looking for a backup big.

If I'm the magic I bully NJ now. You threaten to trade D12 to LAL if they don't trade Deron to Orlando.

How exactly is that a threat? They lose both ways.

If we made that trade, we'd still have a chance at winning the East. Bynum/Gasol/J-Rich/Jameer/JJ/ is a great core.

Ive warmed up to the idea if Pau is included maybe a third team for a high pick??
Jameer
Jrich
Hedo
Pau
Bynum

EDIT: They'd probablly take Hedo

Jameer/??
JJ/Von
JRich/Hughes/Clark??
Pau/Davis (Ryan may be moved?)
Bynum/Orton??

Im guessin Otis wants to trade for players that could have the Magic still make the playoffs makin us have no high picks from anythin unless we traded Pau or somethin for one

That doesn't bully them....they want Dwight a lot more then they want to lose Deron.

For anyone wondering why we didn't file tampering charges, it's because the Magic "don't want to burn a bridge with a team that they may be trading partners for Dwight"..... JOKE of a front office.

I really can not wait for games to start! I am sick of this. I just want Dwight in front of a home crowd that chants his name and cheers him again. It has been a long time since that has happened and last time he was on the court it was a very sour playoff exit as every one knows.

I really hope no one is dumb enough to go to these games and Boo him or call him out. No matter what he says he is still in OUR uniform and until he has been traded there is always a slim chance.

The fact is Otis is a bum and I do not blame Howard at all for asking for a little more help or walking away as much as it pains me to say it. I have been a life long magic fan and always will be but Otis is the one to blame as most of you agree.

I think the New jersey thing today allowed New Jersey to search for players who were available in trades from a 3rd team that we may not have known about. Personally If I am Otis I am trying to work out a trade for Gerald wallace from portland alone to keep Dwight at least for the time being. Wallace would help us win this year , we do good, dwight may re sign, who knows.

The fact is he is in our uniform and Game day can not get here fast enough! :evil:

I guess. The Magic want to still have a team that will compete so people get tickets, and the city's happy. They probably want to see him in the west so we don't have to deal with him competitively. Wonder if that was always the desire, and this reverse psychology thing was designed not to alienate fans due to the history. I'm so over it all, and will be glad when it's resolved.

Well to be honest....without NJ in there, the Lakers will basically just offer us nothing for Dwight. We at least need them for leverage. The sad thing is that our two only real trading partners are a team that stole Shaq and one that probably tampered with Dwight. Disgusting.

Good, b/c there were reports that he wanted to go to Miami if he cleared waivers.

Which is one bag of chips and half a brand-less coke more than what I'm expecting us to get.
